Apache and Tomcat on separate hardware

Hi all,

In my shop, we're currently running apache2, tomcat (rpm bundled with
SuSE 8.2) and jboss-3.2.5 all one a single system. We have a load of
new hardware and so would like to run the apache service on one box and
the tomcat/jboss services on a second box. Is that possible and if so,
how do I tell the apache instance on box A about the tomcat/jboss
instance on box B. Would I just employ a redirect for port 8080? If
not, would the tomcat-connectors come into play?

Thanks

PJ

Hey PJ,

I have a similar setup with Apache on one box pointing to two Tomcat
boxes. I use the JK connectors. The workers.properties configuration
lets you point to local and/or remote tomcat servers.
